And in other news . . .


Source: Folks Admitted to Haley Affair a Year Ago - Nikki Haley WAS in the lead for the Republican nomination in the South Carolina gubernatorial race after that Sarah Palin endorsement. Amazing, this is the SAME state which won't allow gay marriage. Watch they blame this one on Obama.

The Family and Uganda's Anti-Gay Legislation - Another piece about how American homophobia is hurting lgbts in Uganda. And the most important part about it? How a seemingly innocent act by a U.S. legislator (and member of the right-wing group the Family) probably added to the conditions which led Uganda to consider passing that hateful bill. I haven't seen manipulation that skillful since Noah Cross in Chinatown.
